Tips & Recommendations

1Reserve group campsites 6-8 months in advance for peak season weekends, as Virginia's most popular group facilities like Turkey Run Ridge and Sherando Lake book quickly for spring and fall dates.
2Confirm exact capacity limits and vehicle parking restrictions when booking—some group camps limit the number of cars allowed, requiring carpooling or shuttle arrangements for larger gatherings.
3Designate a site coordinator to arrive early for check-in and site orientation, as group camps often have specific rules about fire locations, quiet hours, and activity boundaries that differ from family campgrounds.
4Bring extra tarps and rope for communal dining areas, as weather can change quickly in mountain locations—a 20x20 tarp over picnic areas transforms rainy gatherings into comfortable experiences.
